Paul Weller

Paul Weller is one of those rare artists who's managed to be genuinely important across multiple decades and multiple sounds — punk-tinged mod with the Jam, blue-eyed soul and jazz with Style Council, and then this remarkable late-career run as a solo artist where each album feels more confident than the last. I grew up reading about the Jam before I ever heard them, and when I finally did, that urgency was real — "The Eton Rifles," "Going Underground," that whole working-class anger hitting perfectly. But what impresses me most is how he never coasted on nostalgia. Into his fifties and sixties he was still putting out genuinely adventurous records, earning the MOJO Awards recognition he deserved. The Modfather tag is well-earned — the man basically wrote the rulebook on cool.
